The question i's etert asked; and yetarrioug all the thousand one "answers, volunteered from every p bio quarter, and couched io every cono ble tone from thc oracular to the cornr place, no definition has apparently beer vented sufficiently concise and compre: sive to satisfy the critical inquirer.

' boofc contains forty-six "poems," eight which comprise the "poems, in dialect, " t so^famous through the length aud brea of th* land. Of these it is sufficient to tbat, as thoroughly orginai and [>miliar [ dnbts of an exceptional phase of existen they nave a force and truth, and rug'? pathos about them, which*cun hardly fail secare them immortality. The relation wb thSy bear to the pioneer-civilization of great Wost, is very much that which is bot by the old Scotch and English ballads to i rough, wild, baif-barbarous civilization the BorderrCouutry which gave them Mr i iLnr i ?? - - .it-? . -t-c nearly as long a lease of life, When su bits of quaint pathos as "Cicely/* "Jim" a "Flynn of Virginia," are ouce dropped ic the world, the heart or humanity is not ve likely ever to forget or outgrow them.

NOTICE was given some time since in lb Honse of a bill to postpone the municipa election in Charleston until Nojember, 1S72 so as to bring the election on the same ilai as that on which the State and Unite. "States elections are held. Bosetnon, ot Tuesduy, gave notice of a bill which amend so much of the election of thc City o Charleston ?s relates to the election o Mayor ami Alderman, and appointing th?, first Wcduesday of August, 1872, aa the day for the next election. The present afayot und Aldermen are to remain i:i office until August, 1872. THE Kingstree Star, in a vigorous articl?, shows that it woukl be unwise in the ex? treme to give the County Commissioners of Williamsburg, as proposed, the authority to borrow rponey to liquidate the indebtedness of the county. The Star thinks it better to levy at ouce a ta.. sufficient to pay the whole debt. This woukl be hard to bear, but there is nothing to gain by postpouing the evil day.
